Best Fight Ever / Worst Fight Ever

Two YouTube fight scenes — one from a 1993 Hong Kong martial arts film, one from a 1967 episode of Star Trek — cut into three-second clips and described in writing by Amazon Mechanical Turk workers. Isolated by outsourcing, the descriptions still reveal the fights as step-by-step choreographies. The book has two front covers, one on each side, and flips. 116 pages.
